1 MILLION MORE

SUSTAINABLE

JOURNEYS PER DAY

To achieve our vision we must:

Strengthen our position at the heart of the Northern Powerhouse by fully integrating HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail, and national infrastructure with regional and local networks. Make walking and cycling the natural choice for short journeys. Radically transform public transport capacity of the regional centre to benefit the whole of Greater Manchester. Maximise efficiency and reliability

• f our existing

transport networks. Offer genuine alternatives to the car for travel across the wider city-region, with good orbital connections between town centres. Ensure Manchester Airport and the Airport Enterprise Zone sustainably meets its potential as an international gateway and a GM employment centre. Move and manage freight in the most sustainable and efficient ways. Research and harness future technology, innovations and digital connectivity. Ensure new developments support sustainable transport, and our town centres are pleasant, thriving and well connected.
